Because Life is Sweet

new home

So I want to start a new thing on my blog and I wanted it to be about Sweden. Meaning a designer, brand, food, place, people….etc you get the idea. As I am here living in Sweden I learn something almost everyday that I am amazed by. Swedes are incredible people. With many skills and you would be surprised how many things you have in your house that are Swedish. I figure Fridays will be my Swedish highlight blog post.

It looks like the best little candy shop. It’s all decorated like the 30s and 40s. Plus the girls that work there dress like it too. From what I understand it’s not a uniform it’s there way of life. Oh I would have loved to live in the 30s and 40s its one of my favorite decades. Even my engagement ring is from that time.

It is in Stockholm which I do not live, but I can not wait to visit this little store. It will be on my list of things to do when I visit the city.

For Christmas this year the Mr.’s cousin made homemade candy that looked very similar to theirs. It was so good we couldn’t stop eating it. How good theirs must be.

One thing I love about Sweden is they have candy every where. I am talking every where! But the funny thing is the kids eat candy only on Saturday. They call is “lördagsgodis” which means Saturdays candy. The kids stuff them self silly with candy on that day. The idea behind it is kids will only it candy once a week which will help with dental issues. Not sure it works or not. We have loved bringing this rule into our house. If Le’i is given candy he knows he can not have it till Saturday. The only problem now is that he ask almost everyday if its Saturday. We love going to the candy shops. It makes me think about how our parents rode their bikes saved their 5 cents got a coke and candy. At least I heard those stories. Next time I will take some photos of the candy store. Although you can also buy them just in your local grocery store ( which where most people buy).

I hope you have enjoyed this first little post about something Swedish. If you know there is something here and you would like me to find out about it drop me a line.

We made it! I know I have a lot to post! Sweden has been beautiful and actually warm! We are up north w the mr.’s family none of them have meet le’i yet! By the way he is loving Sweden! Which has been such a blessing. But I think children are so good adjusting to new things. Jet lag was horrible as always, le le got up at4 am a couple of times! Over all we are doing great and loving the move. So much to blog, I know. We move into our house on the 1st of sept so then I will be off and off.
Untill then XOXO

P.SThe picture of mr. and le le in a beach in Sweden! Don’t worry Hawaii your beaches don’t even compare. But it is a different kind of beauty! The family picture us us on a cute little island called hönö!
